FAQs
Are the Regatta Onyx shoes waterproof?
Yes, they feature an ISOTEX waterproof membrane and Hydropel technology to keep feet dry in wet conditions.
Can I use these for winter hiking?
They are suitable for most trail conditions, though they are not specifically insulated for extreme sub-zero temperatures.
How do I choose the right size?
The Onyx range follows standard UK sizing. If you prefer to wear thicker hiking socks, some users recommend going up a half size.
What material is used for the upper?
The Onyx hiking shoes are constructed from high-quality durable leather.
How often should I treat the leather?
Depending on usage, applying a leather conditioner and water-repellent treatment every few months or after heavy use will maintain performance.
Troubleshooting
Water seems to be seeping in during heavy rain
Check if the Hydropel treatment has worn off and reapply a recommended water-repellent spray for leather footwear.
Footbed feels uncomfortable or slides
Ensure the original moulded insole is correctly seated within the shoe; replace if worn out to maintain the designed arch support.
Outsole losing traction
Remove mud and debris from the Vibram tread pattern using a stiff brush to restore contact surface grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before your first long hike, it is recommended to wear these shoes on shorter walks to allow the leather upper and foam footbed to mold to your specific foot shape. To maintain the waterproof properties of the ISOTEX membrane and the Hydropel treatment, regularly clean the outer leather with a soft brush and lukewarm water. Avoid using harsh detergents or drying the shoes near direct heat sources, such as radiators, as this can cause the leather to crack and damage the specialized membrane. If the shoes become soaked, remove the laces and internal insoles, then stuff the shoes with newspaper to absorb moisture naturally in a well-ventilated area.
